Opener Side Wheel Maintenance
Sharp Object Hazard:
Disk edges are sharp. Be careful when working in this area.
Refer to Figure 73
1.
Lift opener side wheel off the ground. Move tire in
and out to check for end play. Check for roughness
in bearing by rotating wheel. If bearings are rough,
inspect and replace if necessary.
2. The side wheels are preset at the factory. However,
because of normal wear it may become necessary
to make adjustments so the wheel remains close to
the disk. To prevent plugging, loosen clamp bolt
and slide arm inward to take up gap between side
wheel and disk blade. If more adjustment is needed,
go to step 3.
3. Remove bolt and wheel . Remove shims
from the inside of wheel and place them on the
outside of wheel. Always place removed shims from
the inside to the outside. When installed, wheel
should turn freely and not hit the arm at the curve.
Do not add any more shims than necessary.
4. Disassemble side gauge wheel arm from unit.
Remove bushing from sleeve and check for
wear. If necessary, replace bushing.
5. When reinstalling side gauge wheels, align tab on
hex adjustment
with notch in bushing. Replace
bolt and tighten.
6. Adjust side gauge wheels. Refer to see “Side
Gauge Wheel Adjustment” on page 37.
